As the eventful 2008 comes to an end, channels are gearing up for new TV shows. I heard that Star One is set to launch a new reality show called Pehchan Kaun sometime around December. This is the first of its kind 'original' hunt for
The show seeks contestants who can copy the style and voice and come closest to mimicking their favorite celebrity. The contestants will be judged on the basis of: likeness quotient, voice similarity, and entertainment quotient.
Pehchan Kaun reminds me of the American television series called ‘The Next Best Thing: Who is the Greatest Celebrity Impersonator,’ which is equally impressive and a fun-to-watch show.
I think Pehchan Kaun is going to be very different from the regular Indian reality shows, which focus mostly on song and dance competitions. The show format sounds interesting and it will be great to see contestants impersonating well-known celebs, which include not only actors and actresses, but also politicians and other prolific figures (now this sounds interesting). I am also interested to see how these contestants impersonate female celebrities, which is quite rare and much tougher to do.
The show, however, does not focus solely on impersonation, it also features sample acts like putting the contestants in particular situations and asking them to act out skits (now this is where it gets interesting).
Firstly, Pehchan Kaun is a one of a kind show and has all the ingredients to be popular. Secondly, this show is miles apart from the regular ‘dramatized’ reality shows and has a completely different theme. This show has already grabbed my attention and I will definitely be watching it.
